How to improve Tennis Serve

Your tennis serve is one of the most important parts of your game. A good serve can make your opponent fearful and on their toes, while a bad serve can easily lose you the game. Always look for ways to improve your tennis serve, look at the professionals and see what they do. I promise you it will pay off in the end.

Relax your arm and wrist

If you keep your wrist straight during a serve, you'll lose a lot of power and control. Make sure to keep them loose, and you'll notice that your wrist will do a kind of whipping motion. This motion is key to your serving power, and to your control. Definitely make sure you practice at keeping your wrist loose, it's one of the secrets of a good serve.

Have a fluid motion (follow through)

Sometimes it's too easy to not follow through. This will make your serve choppy and uneasy. Not only that but it will make you inconsistent, plus it will take away some control and power from your serve. Always make sure you follow through and use your whole body in your serve. Keep the whole motion going, if you're having trouble try throwing the ball higher in the air, a lot of people find that that's their biggest problem.

Jump!

Try jumping in your serves, this gives you more power, accuracy, and it gives you some momentum as well. This is of course a more advanced technique, but learning how to do this will give you a good one up on competitors who do not know how to do a jump serve.

Practice

Practice makes permanent. Go out and practice your serve at least 30 minutes a day, you can practice more if you're looking at playing in a tournament soon. Try different strategies, and look up videos that can teach you more ways to change your serve. You could also consider taking a video of yourself, so that you can see what's going on with your serve, and how you can change it.
